Navigating the workplace can be stressful - especially for individuals dealing with anxiety.

We couldn't find any hard data on which work settings are more appropriate for anxious people. However, according to Dr. Marla Deibler, these individuals should avoid limiting themselves.

Deibler, a licensed clinical psychologist and the executive director of The Center for Emotional Health of Greater Philadelphia, notes that avoidance is a major factor in maintaining anxiety.

"Thus, those who struggle with anxiety should strive to fully participate in life, despite their bodily experience of anxiety - anywhere at anytime," Deibler says. "Being willing to fully experience themselves and their private experiences (thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, etc.) and being accepting of that range of experiences while continuing to act on with what is important to them will lead them to in the direction of ceasing the struggle with anxiety."
